Well Tibet posted a great video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in5gNY55e3c

So I tweaked the lyrics on the first page a bit.

I agree now that I also hear, She gave me her hand but I ignore her.

And I still am having trouble with the line after Daddy's face
Well finally my life is over
or I'll find my life is over
??

And I cannot make out the verse with heartbreaker, I can hear they say I'm a big heartbreaker, I try to remember
??? ________ is not yours are yours??

And at the end I now think he's saying you're not alone, you're not alone

So then, I had this realization about the whole thing. Dr John is there in the bar beside him "sees him there with him"

So his mom comes and offers her hand to get him up and he ignores her. He tells Dr John to lay his head on his shoulder.

So then he stays there in the bar and daddy comes and he stays there and asks Dr John for his shoulder this time. And if I fall asleep will it be over "will my life be over"

So you're not alone, Dr John is there with him.

When I first heard the song, I thought he was talking about putting his head on his parent's shoulders, but no it's Dr John.

I really really really love this song and I hope he talks more about writing it.

I loved WAG when I first heard it then & now after seeing Doctor John on Itunes youtube vids I have fallen in love with it too.
It is fantastic to be a member here & get the lyrics so quickly!
Thank you again!

What a great weekend!

I agree with you 100%! I also think it brilliant when our MFC musicians figure out how to play the songs. I couldn't figure it out in 1,000,000 years!

I've had "I look for joy in a strange place, in the back of a bar from afar." In my head aaaallllll day

I have a feeling that this will be my favourite from the new album

I look for joy in a strange place
from the back of the bar
from afar
I See the look on my momma's face
when her son's fallen over undone

She says that my life is over
But boy you don't know what you got till it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder
She gave me her hand but ignore her

oh Dr. John
What am I doing
When I'm wrong
Cause I Keep on trying...
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Oh Dr John

I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of the bar
From afar
I see the look on my Daddy's face
When his son's fallen over, undone
I Found?? when my life is over
Well I didn't know what I had now it's gone
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder
If I fall asleep will it be over...

Oh Dr John
What am I doing
When I'm wrong
Cause I Keep on trying...
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Oh Dr John

What am I doing
When I'm wrong

Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on

They say I'm a big heartbreaker
I tried to remember

Not the urge

Oh Dr John
What am I doing
When I'm wrong

Cause I keep on trying

Repeats

Oh Dr John

You're not alone
You're not alone

Oh Dr John

You're not alone
You're not alone

I hear "Well, Father..."

"Well, father my life is over" maybe?

Tonight I listened to this video and this is my current tweek. Thanks, I do hear but dr!

LOL it takes a village

Thanks alice loves mika for saying well father! I could not figure it out.

I feel like this has got to be almost it. What a great song. So actually he's broken his parent's heart.

And just what urge is he talking about?

wow you almost have all the lyrics there! well done!!

Neiobi · 03-08-2009, 11:46 AM

I already love this song.

Yeah apparentely he broke both his parents heart

But maybe when he says "they say I'm a big heartbreaker" maybe it's not just his parents.. right?
If this song applies to him of course
